    Michelin CrossClimate2 wear concerns

    Just saying it is aligned means nothing with out a time frame of when it was checked or adjusted and what are the TOE and CAMBER of both the front wheels were finally set at, AND in what shape are the tie rods and upper/lower ball joints in at your 90,000 miles? You could have a mess for all...

    GFI protecting outdoor floodlights

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Don't listen to him. :) 99 cent residential outlets are kryptonite, only use commercial grade outlets. Spend the $2.00 more per outlet, for some quality that can take a load. Those garbage outlet should be banned. :)

    Not another Valvoline R&P thread

    I disagree, your comment on "the bad design" just run regular oil and don't worry about it, doesn't fly with me and others I bet. In a Hyundai/Kia motor is not necessarily the "design", as Chrysler and Mitsubishi use almost the exact design as all three are part of "The Global Engine...

    So you bought a new house, and the builders so called plumber did this...

    If I saw this in a new house I was going to buy, I would run. You can't make this kind of stuff up. That can't be a licensed plumber who did that. The secondary pan was not even sealed to the first pan. What else is hidden behind walls like that?

    Battery replacement estimate

    Speaking about "feeling good aspect"..........What about "risk"? What would your feelings be, if you went to a sporting event with 75% of the cars and mostly trucks in the future being EV and you have to enter the 1980's built "car" garage. At the end of the game, with the added 2-3 thousand...

    Valvoline Restore and Protect: 2017 Santa Fe 2.0 T Sport Ultimate

    Just keep using VRP as the Hyundai's main oil. It's a Hyundai, one of the top problematic cars with ring jamming, most respond within 4 oil changes, but your son's could be an outlier. It not like $29 for 5 qts is a deal breaker. Doing some "compression braking" with manual down shifting the...

    This test was done at Polaris Labs, I think they have 3 locations. Call them back and ask for "a new interpretation". The have no problem looking at it again and maybe by another analyst. 1.317.808.3750

    "Fuel Efficiency Standards Are Dead"

    I am not deputing that, that they are they are on a down slide with their questionable "extreme choices". When Jeff was describing California, I had to laugh, those are not California descriptive words, I find them way more descriptive of Texas. Hence the glasses.

    "Fuel Efficiency Standards Are Dead"

    California has slipped to 6th since you posted your comment. I sure am not betting on California to be one of our highest thriving states. They are doing their best to wreck it.

    Pros and bleeding brakes?

    Speed Bleeders work great for me, plus depending on your car's age, it is highly likely you may need a scan tool/tablet to bleed your ABS pump unit. In 2019 when I wanted to bleed my 2018 Hyundai Kona 1.6T AWD, I had to buy a $250 scan tool that was the only non pro one at the time that had...

    Mobil 1 "Advanced Clean" 5w-30

    Mobil 1 did not clean ring lands on problematic engines, so no, not just marketing. Maybe a chance find, or idea that came into a oil chemist thought in the middle of the night that fixes an issue a good chunk of engines have world wide.
